Our fringe adventures continued last night with 'Lady Sings It Better' in which four female singers take to the Ballroom stage of the Lithuanian Club in North Melbourne and perform renditions of tunes one would normally associate with male performers.
The beginning six-minute Jacksons medley is beautifully performed with alternating vocals between the four members and well-placed mugging and pantomime acting.
This is no-nonsense entertainment with great songs sung with real passion. In between the pieces it is explained that some songs may have hidden messages which may not immediately be obvious from either the lyrics or the melody but which we can hear when sung from a different perspective as they are here.
Hearing Usher, Queen and others delivered in this unique manner is both entertaining and enlightening as the fresh interpretations cast new light on familiar messages.
The banter between the four performers is light and frothy and constantly funny with the audience laughing throughout and the cabaret element adds a welcome element of uncertainty and fun as the four descend from the stage and prowl the audience seeking laps on which to sit and shoulders over which they can drape themselves as they sing.
This show provides a great hour of musical entertainment which will be enjoyed by anyone who loves cabaret and is playing at the Lithuanian Club until the end of the Fringe.
